Ted Lapidus, the Zionist

"Ibn Rushd" sent me this (I cite with his permission): "By the way Ted Lapidus was a big zionist who also designed Israeli army clothes. "In 1969 Lapidus pulled off a remarkable deal with the Israeli government whereby (in return for half his business) he took artistic control of Israel's entire fashion industry, including uniforms for the Israeli women's army. The contract meant that by the end of 1970 the whole of Israel's ready-to-wear industry was stamped with the Ted Lapidus trademark. " The son of Ted Lapidus, Olivier, is married to a Lebanese girl, Yara Lapidus who is a model and singer."
